I keep losing constantly now...

I used to be able to win decently here and there, but it seems like I haven't been able to get a good win in on a rated game for the past month. I'm getting really discouraged and starting to feel like I'm dumb or something...

Should I just stop playing? =/

well if you make bad moves you most certainly lose.

so have a look at the games where you felt you didnt make wrong moves first and find out which moves actually made you lose.

try to figure out wrong moves in every game (also the ones you won) and figure out better moves you shouldve made.

this doesnt only help to improve your game but also finding your opponents mistake during a game which will therefore help you to win.

and ... dont stop playing. try to improve instead. fnding that you have improved makes a way better feeling than finding out you gave in.

But it makes me feel dumb that I'm not getting any better.

do you find youreself not knowing what to do during a game?

do you fall into traps?

do you find it difficult to focus on the game?

If you are in the process of learning new concepts, than its expected that your results will temporarly suffer.  There are two reasons for this.  First while your mind is coping with the new concepts it overlooks tactical shots.  Second, it takes experience to know when the new concept works and often timing is crucial factor.  Once the new concept becomes second nature your ability will take a sudden leap.  Euwe actually warned about this in his book on the middlegame.   I have found that improvement is not a gradual thing, but suddenly a light turns on and you leap to a new plateau.

If you like the game, don't stop. Just try and learn a bit so you get better. I looked at your last game - it was a slaughter :-(  Some obvious advice on that game: at move 14, all your pieces were still on their home rank while most of your pawns were gone. You need to just move a couple of pawns in the opening and then start to bring out your knights and bishops.  Don't worry about pushing your pawns forward until your king is safe (castled), and at least you'll have a fighting chance. There are lots of good articles here and lots of video on youtube you can learn from. Have fun, though!

CHESS.COM TACTIC TRAINER IS A GREAT TRAINING TOOL=====OVER TIME IT SHOULD IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY

It shouldn't make you feel "dumb."  Chess is a skill...you have to acquire it.

One of your games on this post would help in diagnosing some of the problems with the way you are playing right now.

William Shakespeare wrote a sililoquy ("talking by oneself".) The text reads as follows:  "...To be or not to be.  That is the question.  Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.  Or take arms against a sea of troubles.  And by opposing end them..."

What everyone else said, go over every game you play. Besides that, train tactics and tactics and then train some more tactics

I noticed that you do not play online chess. These games are more paced because moves are typically 2 to 3 days if you like. This allows more thoughtful moves and your chess should improve. But study is important as well. Just don't do too much. 15 minutes a day is enough.

I find that if you have the attitude that losing chess games allows you to analyze them and get better, I feel ok about losing. Just my thought...

Right well playing 5 minute games over and over and losing could really get discouraging...no time to think and all that. When you play 3 day online games sometimes you get 3 whole days to sit back and shake your head at the blunder you just made...hoping that the other player doesn't spot it. What I mean is...it's easier to review 3 day online games as you play them...and that can be helpful.

I have started to lose interest in playing chess because I never win anymore. I used to enjoy playing but have lost my confidence now as I always get beat. Is there something that will help me get back my winning streak again?

Tilt happens to everyone.

I was just in its grasp and then I wriggled out of it.

Maybe watch some instrucional youtube videos, do tactics, and play unrated if you still don't gain points.

dont be sad, i was 1.4k yesterday..now i get down to 1.0k just by let me lose everygame... you can't win against them in high rank and no fun at all. Sometimes downing is a good idea for Chess. Chess is a puzzle memory game, we just haven't time to practice or remember anything. Go for Real time game or sport for refresh. you did Great

Git gud.... Jk. Happens to me all the time. Sometimes, I get on a losing hotstreak! That's when I take a decent break from the game and come back another day with a mind. Also, try playing some blitz after a beer or two helps me for some reason.

i keep losing, i go over the games and still nothing happens, i take lessons, i just get dumber, im quiting and screw chess aka the worst game ever invented

I feel you, I lose all the time

I've only ever won games against people I know IRL. Randoms online always seem to have over 90% accuracy and grind me down as they can all plan 10 moves ahead across every combination of moves. I also learn more as I talk to them across a real board. This is soulless and frustrating.
